For decades, BMW has sold itself as the maker of the “Ultimate Driving Machine.” So, obviously, the company’s flagship 7-series must deliver precise and engaging road manners along with all the substance and presence of a dreadnought-class luxury sedan.

Despite the 7’s size, it’s designed pretty much like any other BMW sedan. That means the overall unibody structure is similar to its little brothers‘, and so is the speed-sensitive variable rack-and-pinion steering. The 7-series might be bigger than other BMW sedans, but it’s still a BMW sedan. The 400-hp, 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 under the 750i’s and 750Li’s hood is the same engine used in the beefy X6.

Except for issues of scale, the 7-series does, in fact, drive like a BMW. The steering is beautifully weighted, the suspension expertly mixes dignity and athleticism, the V-8 enthusiastically dispenses torque at any engine speed, and the six-speed automatic transmission works perfectly. The 7-series always delivers an authentic BMW driving experience.
